The appeals looked terrible. I was laughing half of the time because they looked so unrealistic even though that was expected. Kenny's voice is terrible. The same goes for Zoey. My favorite appeal had to be Ursala's since evolving here Eevee was pretty cool especially since one of them evolved into Flareon which is the best Pokémon ever after Pikachu. Speaking of Eevee, their voices are terrible. Glad they evolved.

Finally, the arrival of the Grand Festival. We're finally getting somewhere. The appeals weren't all too great, looking at them again since I watched this in Japanese. ): Buuut, I still enjoyed the episode regardless. I saw a lot of character development in Dawn since her first contest - still glad they showed her nerves through her hair though. That's just her.

Of all the appeals, Ursala's and Jessie's was my least favorite though. :\ It just didn't seem "interesting." The evolution idea was cool, a great way to show off Flareon and Vaporeon again, but that was about it. To be honest, all of the appeals just seemed rush this time around.

I also saw some Dawn x Zoey shipping in the episode; from the moment they met hand in hand. XD; Although, I couldn't say that since I'm not a shipper.

Well, we saw quite a few recurring characters return: Nando, Kenny, Zoey, and Ursula. I've never seen three Nurse Joys in the same place before. Plus, Fantina was there too, but her accent is so fake. Too bad for Kenny, though, who lost in the first round. He's one of my favorite Sinnoh characters, and I think he left too early. I'd rather see that stuck-up Ursula leave. Oh well, I guess the writers just wanted to make this episode interesting.

As for Team Rocket, only one rhyme heard, which was really good. Will Jesselina advance far in the Grand Festival? Maybe, maybe not.

Classic music cue at the end, which I enjoyed. More of those should be included in the new episodes. It adds a nostalgic touch, especially since old cues aren't really used anymore.

Overall, an okay episode. Not too much going on, except for all the appeals and Kenny's departure.

I liked how the narrator said Kenny was a looser, Oh man I LOL'd at thatXD The animation was really great, I do agree so many characters LOL. Kenny was all "I'm gonna win don't forget me" Blah blah blah than ouch lost in the appeal rounds. I noticed that ZoeyxDawn moment, Dawn blushed I was like WTF Why did Dawn blush? I'm not a shipper of them though so..Some few Pearlshipping scenes.

That's funny. Fantina of Hearthome is the guest judge, but her gym is closed. Once again.

I still believe that Ursula is the best rival for Dawn. She's friendly, but still has that snappy attitude! She even told Zoey that she will make sure that her and Dawn don't fight in the finals.

The double performances were okay. Dawn's Ribbon Seal was cool looking and I liked the ending effect from Cyndaquil and Buneary.

OMG the two Eevee voices were annoying, but Ursula's plan worked. Who knew you could evolve your Pokemon in a way like that, in the middle of a performance?! I initially thought, "She is so stupid for trying that!"

EPIC. FAIL. KENNY.

I didn't get the point behind Jesselina's appeal, except for a Silver Wind costume change. Yet, I'm still rooting for her to win it all the way! Remember, I'm playing Devil's Advocate here.

Nando's performance was nice. Who knew that Altaria could sing a Perish Song like that?

We can make a Pokémon Concert! All we need is Jigglypuff to sing...wait, that would be a bad idea because we would all fall asleep, Jigglypuff would get mad and then it would draw on all of our faces...yeah, let's not do that!

75% of Pokémon gamers use cheats and specially made codes to make their Pokémon battle-worthy.If you are one of the 25% percent that level their Pokémon up legally, put this in your signature.

The episode was quite enjoyable, but the bit with Lenny was a bit predictable for me.
I really liked how all of the rivals joined to compete against eachother. What was weird though is that there were 2 badges that Ronando or whatever obtained that weren't recognisable...
